An adjustment mechanism for an adjustment device comprising a main worm gear wheel having a hollow central passage and a main worm. The main worm gear wheel is held in an injection molded plastic housing having at least one opening axially aligned with the central passage to allow a shaft to extend via the opening into the central axial passage to be in supporting engagement with the main gear. The main worm is held in the housing for rotation about a main axis of the main worm, and includes at least one circumferential spiral tooth in intermeshing arrangement with teeth on the circumference of the main worm gear wheel, and can be driven to rotation relative to the housing about its main worm axis. Stiffeners are provided between the housing and the main worm gear wheel and/or the main worm to lock the intermeshing arrangement of the teeth under torque.

Adjustment mechanism and adjustment device comprising such adjustment mechanism

A cleaning unit for cleaning a sensor window pane of an optical sensing device, in particular for optical distance measurement, more in particular a LiDAR sensor device, of a motor vehicle. The cleaning unit comprises a wiper. Further, the cleaning unit comprises a drive unit which is arranged for wiping the wiper over the sensor window pane. Advantageously, the cleaning unit can be arranged for wiping a first portion of the wiper, such as a first wiper tip, over the sensor window pane from a first position towards a second position to wipe at least a first portion of the sensor window pane located between said first and second positions. The cleaning unit can then also be arranged for moving the wiper back from said second position substantially towards said first position without said first portion of the wiper wiping over said first portion of the sensor window pane.

Cleaning unit and method for cleaning an optical sensor device

The invention relates to a cleaning unit for cleaning a sensor window pane of an optical sensing device of a motor vehicle. The optical sensing device can preferably be for optical distance measurement, more preferably it can be a LiDAR sensor device. The cleaning unit comprises a wiper blade. The cleaning unit further comprises at least a first scraper for scraping impediments off the wiper blade. The cleaning unit is arranged for wiping the wiper blade over the sensor window pane. The cleaning unit is further arranged for moving at least one of the wiper blade and the first scraper with respect to each other and along each other for scraping impediments off the wiper blade.

The invention relates to an exterior vision unit for a vehicle. The unit includes a base for attachment to the vehicle and a swiveling housing mounted at the base which can be swiveled at least between a park position, a work position, and an extreme overfold position. The housing includes a camera unit with a lens. The exterior viewing unit includes an adjustable cover for temporarily covering the lens. The cover is adjustable between a cover position and a release position. It also includes an adjustment device for adjusting the cover between its cover position and release position or vice versa. The adjustment device is fitted with an adjusting device connected to the cover in such a way that the cover adjusts when the adjusting device is moved. The adjustment device further includes an initial movable gripping device designed for temporary engagement with the adjusting device linked to the cover.
